Quick scan of the spot market in the past hour:

Who’s leading the gains? VRA (Verasity) surged to the top, with a 12.08% increase in the past hour. PAAL AI followed closely with a 10.79% performance, which is also quite good. GAIB also rose by 6.32%. It seems this small rally has a few hot spots rotating.

On the downside, MERL (Merlin Chain) dropped the most, with a decline of 9.16%. Mind Network’s FHE also fell by 8.5%, while SCOR was relatively milder, down only 3.75%. The market’s polarization is quite evident — hot assets are soaring, while less popular coins are under pressure.

Short-term traders can pay attention to these highly volatile assets, but remember that high volatility often means high risk. For more stable operations, it’s best to wait for clearer directional signals before taking action.

VRA13,4%

PAAL4,16%

MERL8,1%

VRA is surging quite aggressively this time, but I'm still more concerned about why MERL has dropped so badly... feels like it's time to buy the dip.

VRA's 12-point surge this time, we need to first analyze the flow of large holder addresses... Is this rapid rise driven by genuine demand or just another capital game? On-chain data is the clearest. MERL dropping 9 points is a bit suspicious, this rhythm... Be alert for another warning of a potential exit scam. This round of rotation clearly shows funds moving from one pocket to another, the concentration of capital in hot spots must be off the charts. Don't be fooled by the retail investors. High volatility = high risk, that's correct, but what's even more dangerous is that big V influencers are hyping it up, and the contract hasn't even passed an audit. Wait, FHE dropping 8.5 and no one has paid attention? This suspicious address needs to be investigated.

VRA has directly taken off, this wave is quite fierce, PAAL also followed suit nicely, it seems there are indeed hot spots rotating today. MERL dropped so sharply, luckily I didn't chase the high, FHE also followed as a sacrificial lamb, this is the usual operation in the crypto circle. The polarization is so obvious, highly volatile assets really require caution, risk and reward are always a pair of sworn enemies.

VRA is surging quite aggressively this time, 12 points in an hour... feels like another round of profit-taking is coming. MERL has dropped so sharply, brothers holding positions are probably going to take a loss. High volatility = high risk, this time I won't be getting on the train. This kind of polarized market is the easiest to get caught in traps, better to wait and see. VRA and PAAL are taking turns pumping, the same old tricks in the crypto world. Feeling like MERL has been cut in half, who took the bait... With such short-term fluctuations, I’d rather wait for clear signals; I don’t want to be the bag holder.

VRA's recent surge is quite fierce, but it feels like MERL has dropped so sharply that it should rebound... The polarization is so severe that short-term trading really depends on luck.
